Energy efficiency assessments

Standard EPCs for modern homes, and specialist assessments for period properties — where standard energy advice most often gets it wrong.

Modern homes

Standard EPC

A full domestic Energy Performance Certificate, valid for 10 years, for sale, rental or general reference.

£70

Pre-1919 & solid-wall

Traditional / Period Property EPC

An EPC informed by genuine traditional building understanding — not generic advice that risks recommending the wrong measures for a solid-wall home.

£85

Why it's different for older homes

What VCT will never recommend for a pre-1919 property

External wall insulation is never suggested for solid-wall traditional buildings — internal wall insulation is considered instead, where appropriate. Shutters and secondary glazing are favoured over window replacement, and ground-mounted solar PV or air source heat pumps are considered where roof-mounted options aren't suitable.
